Red Cross Sets August Blood Drive Dates for Ross/Fayette Counties

Article Presented By Scioto Valley Dumpsters, LTD

(Red Cross) – It’s not too late to be a part of something big this summer. As we flip the calendar to August, there’s no time to wait − patients are trusting blood donors to ensure lifesaving care is ready as soon as it’s needed. All who come to give in August will automatically be entered into a drawing for a chance to win gas for a year (a $6,000 value)! Three lucky winners will be selected. PLUS, all donors will receive a $10 e-gift card to a merchant of their choice. Terms apply at www.RedCrossBlood.org/GasForAYear Don’t delay! Book a donation appointment and help keep the blood supply stable before fall routines may make it tougher to schedule time to give.
